Mama Say A Prayer

The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be

So, mama, when you pray tonight say a special prayer for me
I miss your tender good night kiss of love and understandin'
The good night kisses I get now are cruel and so demandin'
So, mama, when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees
Mama, say a special prayer for me

The nights get cold and lonely
When you're far away from home
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me

So, mama, when you pray tonight say a special prayer for me
I miss your tender good night kiss of love and understandin'
These good night kisses I get now are cruel and so demandin'
So, mama, when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees
Mama, say a special prayer for me
